Pixel Winch is a screen measurement app with a unique approach. Rather than overlaying complicated controls on top of your existing workflow, it combines aspects of a traditional image editor with the quick access of a modal interface (similar to OS X’s Launchpad or Dashboard).

Step back from web design, art, and visual beauty and journey with Frank Chimero to explore what makes responsive design so unique and powerful

Think about it. A web site must look good on many different screen sizes. A simple description of the web as a design medium:

“an edgeless surface of unknown proportions comprised of small, individual, and variable elements from multiple vantages assembled into a readable whole that documents a moment”

Frank Chimero continues: “The size of what we’re making is unknown until we know what we’re putting there. So, it’s better to come up with an arrangement of elements and assign them to a size, rather than the other way around. We need to start drawing, then put the box around it.”
